Mister Danger killed Don Quixote de la Mancha
Diego Martin Velázquez Caballero
Understanding the meaning of Francoism in the cold war constitutes a surrealist approach that can generate severe labyrinths such as those caused by the visit of the Spanish Santiago Abascal to Mexico. Francisco Franco's Spain was a fascist dictatorship that survived thanks to the economic determinism of the Western world. Falangism was an important legitimator of Catholic nationalism, but especially of the United States.
The Iberian Peninsula became a space where different types of anti-communism converged and strategies were designed to influence Eastern Europe and Latin America. Francoism was a protagonist in the Cold War compared to its meager role during World War II. From Spain paramilitary, ideological, religious and partisan strategies were formed that were carried out by nationalist Catholics in the ecclesial and educational communities. In exchange for cooperating with the strategies of the Vatican and the United States to sustain US hegemony, Spain received the necessary financial support to confront the entrenched social crisis.
In Latin America things were a bit different. In addition to the Franco-Spanish influence, the conservative and de facto governments were persuaded and supported by North America. The experience of the Dirty War exemplifies them in a compelling way. The oppressors of the victims of the conflict are those who were part of the regional government, in the case of Mexico the Federal Security Directorate is affirmed.
What is the meaning of the transnational party structuring that VOX intends? The union of national rights is not a novelty in the history of the 19th century and particularly of the 20th, but in the scenario of the post-covid world and the Davos Forum's Agenda 2030, this fact shows that the West is not prepared to limit the hegemony of States. United or for social, racial, religious, economic and political ecumenism.
North America wants reasons to activate its war economy and Latin America is emerging as the new Iraq or Vietnam. Mexico was already the sparring partner of the United States throughout the 19th century, but when the civil war in the United States threatened the extinction of the American colossus, Lincoln turned to Mexico. Benito Juárez and Abraham Lincoln constitute the Pareto referent of the relations between the two countries.
Mexico needs a popular consultation to analyze the type of relationship it wants with North America. Topics such as the automated world, digital capitalism, emigration, health, artificial intelligence, birth control, aeronautics, etc .; they are the true uncertainty of the future. The Davos Forum has set out a series of goals that can shape a world without North American hegemony and that will slow down globalization. Following the game of the Hispanic or pro-Yankee anti-communist spy ends badly and the left always ends up being the platanito commander.
The drug war that Felipe Calderón unleashed was sponsored by the United States, which has never stopped intervening in conflicts in Latin America. The epidemic of failed states is the result of the conservative pact between the extreme right and false revolutionary nationalism, bad governance always causes colonialism. The United States wants to wage war, it is its business, the closer our region approaches ungovernability, the more the United States assures interventionism.
VOX came to challenge the Mexican constitution, the visit remains for the anecdote. Faced with historical memory, the event represents that for the Motherland Don Quixote de la Mancha no longer speaks, the dollar speaks. What can Don Alonso Quijano do against the empire? Give up. Die. It was not the fatal clash with reality that killed him, but the Anglo-Saxon economic dominance. VOX is the usual subsidized Franco regime. Although AMLO is betting that this fascist radicalization will split the opposition, the complicated thing is the local collaborators who are now doing what they had to do for Donald Trump to win. To defeat AMLO, the Mexican right - civil and religious - always subordinates itself to the United States, but with moderate groups that do not always support the radical conservatism of the Republicans.
The Mexican political class is stagnant in the aftermath of the cold war. The United States too. Latin America cannot follow medieval and anti-communist channels because they are fallacies that always end up delaying growth and development. Europe has the social force necessary to ignore Spain and Eastern Europe. The post-covid world poses a future where neither capitalism nor communism are protagonists.
